Hi. I don't have a picture of my coin, but I have a Indian Head penny that is dated to 1902. I need some help, because I went to a site and I evaluated my coin with the help of an expert, however, I need a little more detail. I am brand new at this so I need a bunch of opions. Please, email me if you replly to this post. Okay, so my problem is that I know what my coin is rated. It's: MS VG-8 RD. The thing is, I don't know what the number of (VG-8) is. Like I've seen gradings that say, MS 65 RD. What is the equivalent number to VG-8? And how low do the ratings go? Sincerely yours, I need help or I'll go crazy! I.N.H.O.I.G.C for short...Lol!
Well it can't be that...it can either be MS65RD or VG8....that is a grade....can you post a photo?? Speedy
Speedy what he is sayingis that his coinis VG-8 andwants to know a value for his coin but all he has seen is stuff like MS65. In response to the originalpost a grade of VG-8 translates to Very Good 8. 8 is the number from the Sheldon Scale. It is the Numerical designation for your coin.The lowest a coin can get is PO1 unless it is given a net grade where points are deducted from that figure. I have seen one coin graded -5 in an Anacs slab. Current pricing for a 1902 Indian cent in VG8 is $1.50. Not much but I hope it is a start for you in numismatics. Hope this helps.
Thanks you guys! :headbang: Thanks for all your help. You are great. :mouth: :smile :smile :smile :smile :smile :smile :mouth:
to CoinTalk hj. It doesn't work that way at CoinTalk. One of the primary purposes of the forum is education, and private responses do not further that purpose.
